| Personal background |
|---|
Originally from Ohio, a transplanted SoCal Gal, now. Semper Fi is one of my paradigms.
Approaching the big 4-0, working in the information technology sector of manufacturing.
Avid rosarian, vegetarian animal rights activist, and major sci-fi fan.
Will probably be running SETI@Home from a big, remote ranch one day, operating and facilitating an animal rights network, lobbying for and connecting all splinter groups into a unified front.
Am always looking forward. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Yes, I do think there are ET's, and I believe that they have discovered us. When one has read Harlan Ellison, David Brin, Alan Dean Foster, Orson Scott Card and others, it becomes impossible not to believe in them.
I think a beacon would be fine, but I am not sure how any data would be translated. I suppose we should try to interact via as many senses as possible - we do not know what form the ET's will take / have taken, so we need to use as many methods of communication as we have at our disposal. Perhaps a capsule sent into orbit, containing items that would impact all know senses would be best (sight, taste, smell, touch, etc...).
I run SETI@home because a friend of mine told me about the program, and it makes total sense to me. Not only are we allowing computations to occur on otherwise-fallow cycles, we are also doing it for a cause that I believe in.
I do think that our focus is too sharp, in that we are looking at far too small an area, and need to expand our scope. |
